Definitions

  • the preferred adsorbent material for this apparatus may include 5A type zeolite, and the temperature controller heats the columns to maintain the representative temperature within a temperature range 20 to 60 °C.
  • a fractionator 10 includes a plurality of columns 12 for containing adsorbent material which adsorbs nitrogen gas much more than oxygen gas, top and bottom tanks 14 and 16 fluidly connected to the columns 12, a rotary distributor (not shown in Figure 1) provided within the bottom tank 15 and a rotary mechanism 26 such as an AC motor 26 for driving the rotary distributor.
  • the columns 12 have top and bottom open ends for the fluid communication with the top and bottom tanks 14 and 16.
  • a controller 32 is provided for controlling the rotational speed of the AC motor 26 based on temperature detected by a temperature sensor 28 which is put on the side wall of one of the columns 12.
